About The Position

Are you someone who enjoys digging into data, solving puzzles, and helping a business make smarter financial decisions?

We are seeking a Cost Accountant to play a key role in strengthening inventory costing, pricing strategy, and operational financial insight across our organization and subsidiaries. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys both technical accounting work and partnering with teams across the business to influence decision-making.
